Abstract

I've analyzed "Tokuchojuin Setsuwa" from the viewpoint of a plot study. This setsuwa narrative has been regarded as a subordinate one in the story. But when we analyze its structure we can see an important theme-that the Throne should be assisted by the warrior family, which has the deities' aid. And from this theme, new concepts of narratives are created one after another, extending the world of monogatari. Setuwa narratives, formerly regarded only as materials of monogatari, are in fact the mainspring of enriching the world of monogatari.
